It was the first half of 2015 when Stacy and Stefanie crossed paths. By the end of that year, the two separate families combined together under one roof. Stefanie and her daughter Madeline moved from Ottumwa to live with Stacy and his children Grace and Gavin, in Tama, Iowa. Time went by, careers evolved, and the two oldest kids graduated high school to then start their own adult adventures. Fast forward to August 23, 2021 when Stacy proposed to Stefanie, asking her and Madeline to be a part of his family forever. They promised forever together during a destination wedding on December 12, 2022 at the Dreams Riviera Maya Cancun Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
